Dear God,

Each new dawn is a precious gift from your hand.  As the twilight comes and the sun begins to peek over the horizon we know you have given yet another beautiful gift.

This morning as I walked out onto the patio and saw the sun casting its rays through the trees, I was wowed by the beauty, so much so that I sang aloud, "O what a beautiful morning.  O what a beautiful day.  I've got a wonderful feeling everything's going your way."  The song from the Broadway musical, Oklahoma, seemed to sum up my feelings.

To be struck by your majesty and glory so early in the morning caused me to consider the psalmist words, "O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth!  Your glory is higher than the heavens."  How can we not give thanks for the gift of sun, sky, breeze, color, and texture?  Daily you give us cause to pause and praise!

Wondrous God,
thank you
for your
magnificent creation!
Thank you
for eyes
to see it,
ears to hear it,
and hands
to touch it.
Thank you
most of all
for the Creator,
you,
O God,
you.

Love, Andrea
